For
this blog post, please choose one passage/line and look closely at its
language. Do your best to really question what Atwood is doing in her
writing and what meaning she is creating as a result of these choices.
What is she conveying and HOW is she conveying this meaning? You can
still ask questions and make connections, but try to have these comments
and questions relate to specific word choice. Remember to respond to
one other classmate. And remember to not repeat passages!

What
stands out to you about Birth Days? What about Offred's commentary on
the rise in pollution, chemicals, birth defects and infertility? What
stands out to you about Offred's mother? Why weave her mother's story
into the Birth Day scene? Choose a passage and explain why
it seems significant to you. Work from places of confusion-- perhaps
choose some lines that you don't quite understand and explore them.
Perhaps you ask a question and answer it. You can also just respond to a
passage, explaining why it stands out to you and what it reveals about a
character, conflict or big idea. Either way, make sure that you respond to someone else and do not repeat passages!
